Abstract

A novel series of polycyclic amine derivatives, of formula I methods of making the compounds, novel intermediates, compositions containing them, and pharmaceutical compositions useful in the treatment and prevention of cerebrovascular disorders and useful as anesthetics or analgesics.

Description

POLYCYCLIC AMINES USEFUL AS CEREBROVASCULAR AGENTS BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Excessive excitation by neurotransmitters can 5 cause the degeneration and death of neurons. It is believed that this excitotoxic action is mediated by the excitatory amino acids, glutamate and aspartate, acting at the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor.
This action is responsible for neuronal loss in cerebrovascular disorders such as: cerebral ischemia or cerebral infarction resulting from a range of conditions such as thromboembolic or hemorrhagic stroke, cerebral vasospasm, hypoglycemia, cardiac arrest, status epilepticus, perinatal asphyxia, anoxia such as from drowning, pulmonary surgery, and cerebral trauma.
While there are no specific therapies for these neurodegenerative disorders, compounds acting specifically to antagonize, competitively or noncompetitively, excitatory neurotransmission at NMDA receptors offer a novel therapeutic approach to these disorders: R. Schwarcz and B. Meldrum, The Lancet 140 (1985); B. Meldrum in Neurotoxins and Their Pharmacological Implications edited by P. Jenner, Raven Press, New York, 1987); D. W. Choi, Neuron 1:623 (1988). Recent literature reports have confirmed the protective action of examples of noncompetitive NMDA antagonists in pharmacological models of neurodegenerative disorders: J. W. McDonald, F. S. Silverstein, and Μ. V. Johnston, Eur. J.

United States Patents 3,159,677, 3,206,480, and 3,111,527, and British Patent 893,920 disclose certain fluorenamines, dibenzofuranamines, dibenzothiophenamines, and processes for preparing them. The compounds are disclosed as having central nervous system depressant activity. The further preparation of these compounds is described by E. Godefroi and L. Simanyi in J. Org. Chem. 28:1112 (1963). United State Patent 3,317,527 and Netherlands Patent 6,415,270 disclose certain amino substituted 5to 7[a]-benzofuranols as central nervous system stimulants. United States Patent 4,668,690 discloses hexahydro-4a-aminoalkyldibenzofurans useful as analgesics, anticonvulsants, and antidepressants. The preparation of certain aminoethyl tetrahydrodibenzofuranamines is described by D. J. Ackland and J. T. Pinhey in J. Chem. Soc. Perkin Transl. 2695 1987). Japanese Patent 50668 discloses certain - aminoethylphenanthrenes as antihypotensives. The preparation of further aminoethyl tetrahydrophenany threneamines are described by T. Kamatani, M. Nishimura, K. Higurashi, M. Tsbuki, and Ionda in J. Org. Chem. 52:5233 (1987). The preparation of -3certain aminomethylhexahydrophenanthrenes and a trans ring-fused octahydrophenanthreneamine is described by J. P. Yardley and R. W. Rees in Can. J. Chem. 63:1013 (1985). None of these publications teaches to the preparation and utility of the compounds of the present invention.

Such disorders include but are not limited to cerebral ischemia or cerebral infarction resulting from a range of conditions such as thromboembolic or hemorrhagic stroke, cerebral vasospasm, hypoglycemia, cardiac arrest, status epilepticus, perinatal asphyxia, anoxia such as from drowning, pulmonary surgery, and cerebral trauma. Other treatments are for schizophrenia, epilepsy, spasticity, neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's disease or Huntington's disease, Olivo-pontocerebellar atrophy, spinal cord injury, and poisoning by exogenous NMDA poisons (e.g., some forms of lathyrism).

Using a similar culture system, the ability of the compounds of the instant invention to inhibit the hypoxia-stimulated influx of calcium (HCl) was determined by incubating cultured cells in an atmosphere of nitrogen (95%) and CO2 (5%) at 37°C for a period of four hours. Calcium influx was determined by subtraction of the stimulated influx in the presence of tetrodotoxin (3 μΜ) and magnesium (10 mM) from that found in the absence (control) and in the presence of the test substance.

Org. Chem., 28, 1112 (1963). These methods may be adapted to provide the new compounds of the instant invention. These and additional methods of preparation are illustrated in Schemes I-X following.
The saturated intermediate tricyclic acids (7) are available through an annulation procedure outlined by G. Sinha et al, in J. Chem. Soc. Perkin. Trans. 1, 2519 (1983). Alternately, the unsaturated tricyclic acids (6) are available through the Diels-Alder addition of dienes, for example butadiene, to the unsaturated acids, esters or nitriles (5,24,4) as illustrated in Schemes I and IV. These unsaturated acids and esters may be prepared from the ketones, as illustrated in Schemes I and VII. These Diels-Alder reactions may be carried out neat or in a solvent, for example, toluene or more preferably water and over a range of temperatures, for example, 100°-200°, preferably 120°-180°. They may also be carried out, where appropriate, in the presence or absence of a catalyst, for example, trimethylaluminum or diethylaluminum chloride, and with the addition of butylated hydroxytoluene which acts as a radical scavenger to suppress undesirable polymerization reactions. The ring C unsaturation may be removed at this point by catalytic hydrogenation over palladium catalyst to yield the saturated acids (7).
The transformation of the acid moieties of 6 or 7 into the isocyanate (8) may be carried out by heating the free acids with diphenylphosphoryl azide and base, for example, triethylamine, or conversely, may be achieved by heating the corresponding acid chloride with sodium azide in a solvent such as benzene in the presence of a catalytic amount of a phase transfer catalyst, for example, 18-crown-6 or 15-crown-5 crown -23ethers. The compounds of the instant invention may be derived from the isocyanates (8) by basic hydrolysis or by reduction by, for example, lithium aluminum hydride, of the corresponding carbamates. This compound is prepared in turn from the isocyanate (8) by heating with an anhydrous alcohol. An additional aspect of this invention involves the use of alcohols which afford carbamates which may be degraded by mild methods which are shown in Scheme I. Such alcohols include, for example, 2-trimethylsilylethanol, or 2,2,2-trichloroethanol.
A further aspect of the invention involves the use of chiral alcohols to afford diastereomeric carbamates. Such alcohols include a-methylbenzy1 alcohol or menthol. Such diastereomeric carbamates may, in certain instances, permit the chromatographic resolution of diastereomeric pairs to afford optically pure diastereomers, thus allowing resolution of the disclosed amines into pure optical isomers.
Additional compounds of the instant invention may be further prepared by acylation, carbamoylation, or alkylation of the free or substituted amine. This transformation may be carried out using an alkyl halide, for example allyl bromide and a base, for example triethylamine in a solvent, for example, ethanol or, for example, by reductive amination of an aldehyde such as formaldehyde or acetaldehyde.
Unsaturation may be introduced into the B ring as illustrated in Scheme II. Bromination of the acid or ester (13) may be carried out by heating the unsaturated precursor with a brominating agent, for example N-bromosuccinimide in the presence of a radical initiator, for example azoisobutyronitrile. Elimination of the bromide may be achieved by heating with a base, for example triethylamine or 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene (DBU). Alternatively, 15 -24may be prepared from the ketone which is available by chromium trioxide oxidation of 7 or its ester, 13. Reduction of the ketone to the alcohol, for example, with sodium borohydride in methanol followed by acid catalyzed dehydration also affords the unsaturated ester, 15. Transformation of these intermediates into compounds of the instant invention is carried out as previously described.
In addition to Diels-Alder cycloaddition 10 methodology, (summarized in Scheme IV), compounds of the instant invention, where X is, for example, -CHR7S- and -SCHR7- may also be prepared by a routes illustrated in Scheme V. Alkylation of the enolate anion, for example, sodium enolate, of cyclohexanone or an enamine, for example, 1-pyrrolidino-l-cyclohexene, with an alkyl halide, for example, 2-(chloromethylthio)bromobenzene gives the corresponding ketone (27). Methodology for the cyclization of imines derived from the ketones (27) to compounds of the instant invention is illustrated in Scheme IX.
The compounds of the instant invention where Ring A is a thiophene can be prepared as shown in Scheme VII and by methods similar to that shown in Scheme I. The synthesis of 4,5-dihydrobenzo[b]thiophen-6(7)-one, (38a), 6,7-dihydrobenzo[bjthiophen5(4)-one (38b), and 6,7-dihydrobenzo[c]thiophen5(4)-one (38c) are described by Padwa et al in J. Org. Chem., 54, 299 (1989). An alkoxy carbonyl group, for example, methoxycarbonyl, can be introduced into each of these compounds by the simultaneous action of a strong anhydrous base, for example, sodium hydride and a dialkylcarbonate group, for example, dimethylcarbonate. The dimethylcarbonate may be used as the solvent. Using the route shown in Scheme VII, the alkoxycarbonylated intermediates are reduced, for -25example, with sodium borohydride in an alcohol, for example, methyl alcohol to the corresponding alcohols (40a,b,c). Dehydration of (40a,b,c), which may be achieved by heating in the presence of an acid, for example, toluene sulfonic acid with continuous removal of water, using, for example, a Dean and Stark trap gives the unsaturated esters (41a,b,c). These unsaturated esters may be transformed into the compounds of the instant invention by a Diels-Alder cycloaddition reaction. Such a reaction is carried out by heating the substrate in the presence of a diene, for example, butadiene, in the absence or presence of a solvent, for example, toluene, or water in a manner similar to that shown in Schemes I and IV.
Hydrolysis of the ester group may be carried out by treating the substrate with alkalie, for example, aqueous or alcoholic sodium hydroxide or anhydrous potassium trimethylsilanolate. Rearrangement of the acid into the required isocyanate may be carried out by heating the acid in the presence of diphenylphosphoryl azide and triethylamine in a solvent, for example, benzene. Alternatively, activation of the acid, for example, by the generation of an acid chloride, for example, by heating the acid in the presence of thionyl chloride, followed by heating with sodium azide in the presence or absence of a phase transfer catalyst, for example, 18-crown-6 or 15-crown-5 crown ethers in a nonprotic solvent, for example, benzene also affords the intermediate isocyanates (46a,b,c). The isocyanates (46a,b,c) may be transformed into the compounds of the instant invention by hydrolysis in the presence of a strong base, for example, aqueous sodium hydroxide followed by acidification with, for example, hydrochloric acid to give the compounds in which R1 and R2 are both hydrogen. The free amino may be further alkylated by -26an alkyl halide, for example, benzyl bromide or allyl bromide in the presence of a base, for example, triethylamine or DBU to give further compounds of the instant invention. Alternatively, the isocyanate may be transformed further by the addition of an alcohol, for example, ethyl alcohol to give a carbamate. Reduction of the resultant carbamate with a strong reducing agent, for example, lithium aluminum hydride, gives the compounds of the instant invention wherein R1 is methyl and R2 is hydrogen.
Alternatively, to assemble Ring C, the saturated acids (45a,b,c) may be prepared from compounds 39a,b,c by a Robinson annulation in a manner similar to that described by Sinha et al in J. Chem. Soc. Perkin Trans. 1, 2519 (1983). In this (Scheme VIII), in the presence of a strong base, for example, Triton-B methoxide in a protic solvent, for example, methyl alcohol, methyl vinyl ketone is added to the compounds 39a,b,c to give the tricyclic intermediates 42a,b,c.
Dehydration of 42a,b,c, which may be achieved by heating in the presence of an acid, for example, toluene sulfonic acid with continuous removal of water, using, for example, a Dean and Stark trap gives the unsaturated esters 43a,b,c. Reduction with a hydride reducing agent, for example, diisobutylaluminum hydride or catalytic hydrogenation or a dissolving metal reduction, for example, lithium in liguid ammonia, followed by Wolff Kishner deoxygenation gives the acids 45a, b, or c. This deoxygenation may be carried out by heating the substrate with hydrazine and potassium hydroxide in a solvent, for example, diethylene glycol at elevated temperatures, for example, 200-270°, preferably 220-245°. These are transformed further into the compounds of the instant invention in a manner similar to that described above. -27Alternatively, as may be required by the nature of the substituents, the hydroxyl group of the intermediates 42a,b,c may be removed by an alternate dissolving metal reduction of a derived ester according to the method of Boar et al, J. Chem. Soc. Chem. Comm. 68 (1978). Prior to this reduction, protection of the existing ketone residue may be required, this may be achieved, for example, by the formation of a silyloxy derivative, for example, a t-butyldimethylsilyl group. Alternatively, the ketone may be protected as a ketal, for example, an ethylene ketal. -28SCHEME I II (PhO) 2PN3/Et3N/A/THF -29SCHEME I (continued) 1) Bu4NF, THF 2) H+3O Et3N where R is substituted or unsubstituted alkyl, cycloalkyl, aryl or arylalkyl, where the substituent may be further selected to aid in chiral resolution or facilitate deprotection of the carbamate. -3ΌSCHEME II CH2N2 R3KMeO2cri 1 R’ 12 1) NBS/AIBN Δ DBU R3vMeO2C til THF/Δ y> y R4 Br 1) EtOH NaOH/Δ or 2) H+30 1) KOSiMe3, THF, Δ 2) H+3O LAH (PhO) 2ΡΝ3/Δ r3\^CN -31SCHEME IV and R’R,,R'R may be independently H, alkyl, OMe, OSiMe3 R’-R” may be part of a ring. -32SCHEME V ONa THF -33SCHEME VI Ο -34SCHEME VII NaBH4, MeOH Tosic acid/Δ KOSiMe3 THF CO2H -35SCHEME VIII CO2Me ,0 a.b.c Me Triton B Methoxide 1) (CH3CO)2O, Et3N 2) EtNH2, Li or t-BuNH2, K, 18-crown-6 Tosic Acid Δ MeO2C OH H2NNH2, KOH ho'^x°^^oh a.b.c II (PhO)2PN3, Et3N or 1) SOC12, 2) NaN3, Δ, 18-crown-6 Benzene OCN -36SCHEME IX w NH Ph t-BuLi, Et2O -78°C-»RmT X' -37SCHEME X 1) t-BuOCl R°2CNH2 2) NaOH ro2cn or RSO2NH2 may be reacted similarly to give RSO2N=Te=NSO2R .Cl “Na Te(metal) RO2C=Te=CO2R -3810 The compounds of the instant invention may also be prepared by cyclization of an aromatic anion onto a preformed imine as shown in Scheme IX. Coupling of an ortho substituted haloalkyl aromatic bromide with a cycloalkyl enamine in a solvent such as dioxane at elevated temperature, for example, at reflux, affords the arylalkylcycloalkylketone (47). Alternatively (47) may be prepared by the reaction of a haloalkylaromatic bromide with the preformed cycloalkyl ketone enolate anion. Treatment of the ketone (47) with an amine under dehydrating conditions, for example, heating the ketone with an amine in a solvent, for example, toluene, at elevated temperatures, for example, at reflux in the presence of a catalyzing amount of an acid, for example, toluenesulfonic acid, with the simultaneous removal of water, for example, by the use of a Dean and Stark trap, affords the imine (48) . Alternatively, an imine may be prepared by an aza Wittig reaction. That is, by treating the ketone with a phosphonoimine derived from the reaction of an azide, for example, benzylazide with a triaryl or trialkylphosphine, for example, triphenylphosphine to give N wherein R12 is alkyl, cycloalkyl, arylalkyl, aryl, SO2R, or CO2R.
Alternatively, an imine may be prepared by method described in J. Org. Chem. 1990, 55, 393 or by the treatment of the ketone with a telluriodiimide derived -39from the reaction of an N-chloro-N-sodiocarbamate or sulfonamide with tellurium metal (Scheme X). Alternatively, the equivalent seleniodiimide may also be used. This imination reaction may be carried out in an inert solvent such as dichloromethane or acetonitrile. The by-products of tellurium or selenium dioxide may be optionally removed by filtration prior to cyclization of the derived alkyl or arylsulphonyl or alkoxycarbonyl substituted imine.
Cyclization of the bromoarylcycloalkyl imines is achieved by treating the substrate with a strong base, for example, t-butyllithium, in an anhydrous inert solvent such as ether, or tetrahydrofuran at reduced temperatures, for example, -78°C. Following the addition of base at low temperatures and subsequent stirring, the reaction is warmed to room temperature before quenching. Quenching may be achieved by the addition of an aqueous ammonium chloride solution followed by extraction of the product with a solvent such as dichloromethane. The product of cyclization may be isolated and purified by methods known to those skilled in the art.
Following cyclization, the alkyl or aryl sulfonyl residue may be removed from the amino group by methods known to those skilled in the art. Alternatively, the product of cyclization onto an alkoxycarbonylimine is a carbamate. Further reactions of such a substrate are developed in Schemes I and 11.
It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the methods described above are illustrative only and are not meant to limit the scope of the instant invention. Alternate transformations and reagents to those disclosed above by which the compounds of the instant invention may also be prepared will be apparent to those skilled in the art. -40In starting compounds and intermediates which are converted to the compounds of the instant invention, functional groups such as carboxy, amino and hydroxy groups are optionally protected by conventional protecting groups that are common in preparative organic chemistry. Protected carboxy, amino, and hydroxy groups are those that can be converted under mild conditions into free carboxy, amino, and hydroxy groups without the molecular framework being destroyed or other undesired side reactions taking place.
The purpose of introducing protecting groups is to protect the functional groups from undesired reactions with reaction components and under the conditions used for carrying out a desired chemical transformation. The need and choice of protecting groups for a particular reaction is known to those skilled in the art and depends on the nature of the functional group to be protected (carboxy group, amino group, etc), the structure and stability of the molecule of which the substituent is a part, and the reaction conditions.
Well-known protecting groups that meet these conditions and their introduction and removal are described, for example, in J. F. W. McOmie, Protective Groups in Organic Chemistry, Plenum Press, London, New York (1973), T. W. Greene, Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis, Wiley, New York (1981), and also in The Peptides., Vol. I, Schroeder and Luebke, Academic Press, London, New York (1965), as well as in Houben-Weyl, Methoden der Organischen Chemie, Vol. 15/1, Georg Thieme Verlag, Stuttgart (1974).
Terms used in the processes of the instant invention are defined below.
A diene means a group containing two alkene bonds in conjugation such a group contains a least four contiguous carbon atoms but may also contain a -41greater number of additional carbon or heteroatoms.
An alicyclic diene is for example, butadiene, 2,3-dimethylbutadiene or chlorobutadiene. A cyclic butadiene is, for example, cyclohexadiene, cyclo5 heptadiene or thiophene.
The conversion of cyano to carboxy may be carried out directly by treatment with a strong aqueous acid, for example 40% sulfuric acid. The conversion of cyano to a carboxylic acid may also be carried out in several steps, for example by treatment first with a lower alkanol, e.g., anhydrous ethanol, in the presence of a strong acid, e.g., hydrochloric acid, to give an alkoxyimidate when carried out at reduced temperature, for example, 5°C or, when carried out at elevated temperature the alkoxycarbonyl intermediate may be obtained directly. This intermediate may be subsequently hydrolyzed further with acid or base.
Alternatively, a cyano group may be first transformed into a amide, this is preferably carried out by treatment with an alkali metal hydroxide, e.g., dilute sodium hydroxide and hydrogen peroxide, preferably at room temperature. The resultant amide may be further hydrolyzed with acid or base into the carboxylic acid. Alternatively, the intermediate amide may be transformed directly into an isocyanate, this is preferably carried out by treatment of the amide with a positive halogen source, for example bromine or sodium hypochlorite in the presence of a base, for example sodium hydroxide. The isocyanate may be hydrolyzed directly to the amines of the instant invention, preferably by treatment with a strong base for example sodium hydroxide.
The compounds of the invention may thus also be converted to other compounds of the invention by functional group transformations well known in the art. -42For example, conversion of carboxylic acid esters and amides to carboxylic acids is advantageously carried out by hydrolysis with inorganic acids such as a hydrohalic or sulfuric acid or with aqueous alkalies, preferably alkali metal hydroxides such as lithium or sodium hydroxide.
Free carboxylic acid may be esterified with lower alkanols, such as ethanol, in the presence of a strong acid, e.g., sulfuric acid, or with diazo (lower) alkanes, e.g., diazomethane, in a solvent such as ethyl ether, advantageously at room temperature, to give the corresponding lower alkyl esters.
The above-mentioned reactions are carried out according to standard methods, in the presence or absence of diluents, preferably such that are inert to the reagents and are solvents thereof, of catalysts, of condensing or said other agents respectively and/or in inert atmospheres, at low temperatures, room temperature or elevated temperatures, preferably at the boiling point of the solvents used, and at atmospheric or super-atmospheric pressure. The preferred solvents, catalysts, and reaction conditions are set forth in the appended illustrative examples.
The invention further includes any variation of the present processes in which an intermediate product obtainable at any stage is used as starting material and the remaining steps are carried out, or the process is discontinued at any stage. The reaction components may be used in the form of their salts or optically pure antipodes.
